Is it Rook on e file to e5 if you take it blocks all escape squares if the queen and hen rf2 with the idea of rh2+ followed by Rg2+ winning the queen back even if you go into a king and pawn endgame you can play a5 creating a passed pawn and barely winning

1. Rf4+ Kh5
2. Rg1 f.b. doubling on g-file seems very promising. King is trapped.
Am I in other 3.14%
Wow. I am impressed. I would of just taken the draw grudgingly, but doubling on the g-file in your line looks like it basically wins on the spot 
Well done.

Post #28 revealing the game of Morphy vs. Capablanca could summarize my reaction in one hyphenated word: "mind-blown".
If this is the criterion that decides the top 4% (not 97% lol) then I guess I am not currently at the top 4% 
Yup...if you thought Rf4 you get -15 on tactics trainer because there is a move mating in 2 moves less.
Mate in 24 vs 26.
No, I'm the 3%.
well it's a draw don't listen to this kid.

No it doesn’t. Your analysis is faulty if you go over it with an engine

This site is equipped with stock fish 8. When I click on your pgn, it gives me the option to go over it with the engine.
Would you care tell me why black would play 3...e5?? When the engine categorizes it as a 50+ point blunder?

The "easy" way wins too, but 1.Re5 is really pretty and I didn't see it at all.

OP just made another joke. Morphy died 4 years before Capa was born.
Another reason why "mind-blown" fits. Where did Morphy get a time machine, just to play out this chess position?

Good question. Perhaps we need to find that machine to go ask Morphy that very question. 2600 is "strong" - but not even world championship caliber anymore; Morphy should have first went into the future to learn how to be a 3500+ or so player first right? Then even Stockfish, Komodo, and the others would be put to shame.
